Don't know why pumeco is so paranoid, unless he/she's got something in the box that probably shouldn't be there.  Someone wants to mine my computer, have at it, you'll get tired of finding nothing of any use to you.  I don't have to worry about my non-existent cell phone being hacked, nor my non-existent social networking being hacked and mined.  The problem isn't the computer or operating system, it's what you feel you have to put where it shouldn't be in the first place.  My first rule, I don't give anyone my CC number via computer, that's what the telephone, connected to a wall outlet, is for.  The net is what this computer is for, and that's all it's used for.  Period.  I'm not lost or helpless without a cell phone, if I'm not sitting next to my phone, it means I don't want any calls and good luck getting me to answer if you call.  I don't do file sharing and good luck to anyone that wants me to download the software to allow it, I know enough not to download something that I'm not specifically looking for.

Seems the problem with systems is pumeco, not the systems.
